Hedge (Osage orange)? What is it?

[D8Chumley]

Hedge trees don't blow down, they are the Chuck Norris's of the tree world. Hurricanes go around them and blow down Oak's and other soft woods.

It was Mulberry, and it uprooted. However there is a tree at the end of my road that appears to be OO and there are several broken limbs from where another tree fell on it. I will be getting those broken pieces as soon as the snow on the shoulder of the road is clear and I can get it safely

The stuff is tougher than woodpecker lips and burns steel bending hot. Best bow wood you can get also. Gotta love it

I can honestly say as an archer, that I would love to make my own bow someday. Problem is not having enough time to do everything I want to do. I'm glad someone can do it though!

The Primitive Archer site will get ya there. - Cut a few staves and get them drying. Mine stay in the stove room in winter and attic in the summer. When someday comes you'll be ready!
